I smoked cigars and cigarettes for about 10 years. Was about a pack aday, depending on day. Up to pack and a half, I worked in a cigarette store for a year or two. So was hard not to just chain smoke during the days down times. Plus was good advertisement because I smoked Nat Sherman Natural Originals 101 size. I was a cigar smoker originally so the longer smoke and the tightness was perfect. Also, the maduro paper of the Originals was closely cigar-ish. I actually had enough will power to quit back in October, but had the recurring missing of the taste of the Originals. I resisted the urge to buy a pack, it was easier because I couldn’t buy them in town. I still wanted the taste and enjoyment of smoking. I just hated waking up hacking for 20 minutes before I could breathe right. About two or three months go by, and I get to move into my new house. Well a buddy of mine is an A/C tech. So he came and hooked my air conditioning up and stuff. Well he had an ego-t with a carto-tank. I tried it and coughed because I wasn’t used to how to draw off it. He told me the secret and finally got the hang of it. I knew I had to have one. So after getting settled into the new house. About March I finally had the money to go get my own. I usually do my research on new gadgets I want to buy online. but still didnt have internet in the boonies. I was clueless and intrigued. I went to one store and didn’t have a helpful experience. The other store in town was a lot better at customer service and relations. They take the time to sit you down and explain the devices, etc. I ended up getting an ego-c with 2 mini nova’s, and about 3 18mg flavors. RY4 was the closest I found to my Nat Sherman’s, so now when I get that craving for the taste I just grab my RY4 tank and puff away. Then went about a week or two later and bought more flavors at 11mg. actually got two of my friends the same set up I had for their B-days. Then I finally got internet hooked up so I researched online newer better devices. I really started hating the dry/scratchy hits from the nova’s. I found the Protank and decided to give it a whirl. I love it no dry hits no leaks great vapor/taste. I have upgraded to a vv mod and have now reached vaping nirvana. I also don’t hack shit up in the mornings, like I did with cigarettes and cigars. So now I have about 8 different carto/clearos a tackle box full of juice. Mainly 6mg and 11mg. I have adhd so I get bored with flavors, lol. I couldn’t imagine not having my e-cig now. Saves money and my lungs.
